Match a clown to another clown and get an extra turn!

2. To start, all players turn up the card on the top of their stack.

3. Decide who goes first. If you are the first player, try to find a character on your card that is the same as a character on the card in the center of the table.

   
   

   If you match a clown to another clown, you get another turn.

4. If you find a match:

   • Place your card in the center of the table so that the two matching characters are touching.

   • When you place a matching card, you must make sure that your card only touches the card it matches, and not any other cards already placed.
     
     Also, the only fingers that are allowed to touch are the matching ones. You can move other cards around a bit to accomplish this, as long as you don't change which fingertips are touching.

   • Once you have placed your card, turn up the next card in your stack.

   • If you matched two clowns together, well done! You've been CLOWNING AROUND and get to playagain! Otherwise, your turn is over.

5. If you can't make a match, your turn is over.
